Thankful and Yet I Am No Hog Poem Fragment
A fragmented poem narrates contentment with simple needs and limited desires. The speaker, contrasting humble life with excess, mentions three seven meals weekly, two suits, a plain hat, a single cravat, and modest fare on travel, ending with a self characterization as not Depew and a fleeting regret about four aces.

The Lone Tree Courier Saga of Smidgely and a Paper
A tale from St Paul Pioneer Press tells how Smidgely bought the Lone Tree Courier in Wyoming for 20 dollars, built its plant with borrowed funds, and sold it two years later for 6,250 dollars. He used county tax lists and official publications to attract ads, boost circulation, and win public office, then invested profits in mining ventures in Denver. The account highlights early frontier press opportunism and bold finance.
